Page 731 — Yughan-Tat — This title the Professor defines thus; — — instead of aygan tat = the named foreigner."
The above definition is wholly out of the question with respect to Saif-ud-Din, I-bak, who received the title of Yughan-Tat, on account of, or, after his capturing several elephants in Bang.
Page 761 — ? — Toghril = a proper name, not the righteous as hitherto believed, but toghraul = the breaker, from toghramak = to put in pieces."
Here the Professor writes correctly with gh; but the definition of this well known word, which depends upon the pointing, is thus described in a very trustworthy work before referred to: — "Spelt Tughrul, it signifies a species of the falcon tribe used in the chase" — and, as plainly indicated by our author farther on, page 936, with reference to the Awang Khan — "and 'Tughril,' the name of a man," which may signify "the breaker." Moreover one noble is named Tughril-i-Tughan Khan. See page 743.
